Chapter 1278: Value

Wang Xian ended the fight with Zhang Xuan and led the army north in the starry night. In order www.biquge.info to avoid the scouts of the official army, the whole army did not light torches, and the 15,000 troops marched quietly. On the fourth watch, when I arrived at Sihezhuang, which was more than ten miles south of Tongzhou, the traces of the army were still not discovered.

When he arrived at Sihezhuang, Wang Xian ordered the whole army to rest for a while, waiting for the Jinyi Wei masters who were exploring the road ahead, bringing back the battlefield situation, and then determining the combat strategy.

In the dark night when the stars were falling, after waiting for half an hour, the Jinyi Guard, who had gone to explore the way, came back and brought back a few of Zhang Dong's subordinates.

Wang Xian immediately summoned these people, and learned from them that Xu Huaiqing led 5,000 cavalry to attack the grain transportation army of the official army one after another, forcing the official army to carry grain and the army could not shrink out, and also killed the 20,000 cavalry of Li Xian's department who came to meet him.

Before Wang Xian and the others had time to feel excited, they were stunned by the messenger's next words: "In order to deal with General Xu, Yang Rong personally led 20,000 troops out of the city to command, and a total of 90,000 troops surrounded and suppressed General Xu's men and horses!" ”

"What about Xu Huaiqing? Did you escape?! Wang Xian asked the messenger anxiously.

"General Xu asked me to wait for the report to my grandfather, he will fight to the last person, and he will also drag Yang Rong until dawn!" The messenger choked with tears in his eyes and said: "General Xu, please don't lose a big deal because of a small loss, you must take advantage of Yang Rong's absence in Tongzhou and the empty army in the city to take down Tongzhou City!" ”

After the messenger finished speaking, there was a dead silence in the field, Mo Wen, Wu Wei, Zhang Yi and others all lowered their heads, Wang Xian's whole body trembled for a long time, and he roared in a low voice: "This bastard! Do you still need him to teach me?! ”

"Grandpa," Mo Wen raised his head suddenly, and said with red eyes: "We must go to Tongzhou City immediately, and we must not let Lao Xu sacrifice them in vain!" ”

"They're not dead yet!" Zhang Yi glared at Mo Wen angrily, his hand tightly clenched on the hilt of the sword.

"The 90,000 army is surrounded by layers, they can't get out, and we can't save it!" Mo Wen said with tears in his eyes: "Don't you understand, Lao Xu is using his life to exchange the initiative for us in the whole war!" We must not be emotional, and let down Lao Xu's hard work in vain! ”

"I don't understand!" Zhang Yi gritted his teeth and said: "I only know that my robe is trapped in the encirclement, and if I don't save it, what is the righteousness?!" ”

"That would only put everyone in there!" Mo asked and said in a deep voice: "If Lao Xu wants to run, who can stop him and use us to save him?" ”

The generals of the "......" had their own opinions and quarreled together.

"That's it! Don't be noisy! Wang Xian finally broke off, and all the generals were silent, all looking at their boss, waiting for him to make a decision!

"Order the whole army to ......" Wang Xian's gaze slowly swept over the generals, and finally returned to nothingness: "The target is Tongzhou City, set off immediately......"

"Marshal!"

"Your Excellency!"

"Grandpa!"

The generals who insisted on saving people all froze there all at once. When they came back to their senses, they wanted to try to persuade Wang Xian again, but they saw him wave his hand, closed his eyes and said, "I have made up my mind, don't say it again......"

After ending the charge again, Xu Huaiqing's war horse fell to the ground with a wail, and the soldiers on the left and right hurriedly supported the general who was wounded several times.

Xu Huaiqing looked at the war horse that died of exhaustion, then looked at the remaining more than 100 soldiers around him, then looked at the sky, sighed and said, "It's going to be dawn......"

The soldiers followed his gaze and looked at the eastern sky, and sure enough, in the deep night, the morning star was quietly hung!

Everyone smiled with relief, before tonight, they could never have imagined that they could actually do this! With less than 5,000 soldiers and horses, he entangled 90,000 enemy troops and killed them to the fullest, I am afraid that Zhang Wenyuan, who was powerful and free back then, was just like that!

"However, we really can't run away......" Xu Huaiqing looked at the torches all over the mountain, and he had already surrounded the small hillside where they were located.

"I can't run away in the first place, what good thing does the general think." The soldiers beat their spirits and made fun of Xu Huaiqing.

Listening to the teasing of the soldiers, Xu Huaiqing suddenly choked up and said: "In the next life, I will still be a brother......

"Of course!" The soldiers smiled and nodded.

"This time you are in charge," Xu Huaiqing held the big axe in one hand, and smiled weakly: "Are we going to make another circle, or wait here for ...... death"

Not surprisingly, the soldiers said proudly: "The manly husband is a horse leather shroud!" General, lead us to the charge! ”

"Good!" Xu Huaiqing laughed, gritted his teeth and lifted the heavy Xuanhua axe with one arm, threw off his big stride, and rushed down the hillside!

All the soldiers also dismounted, and since it was the last attack, they didn't bother the old man to die with him...... I think that the official army will not be perverted to the point that even the war horse will be killed to vent his hatred.

"The wind is from the dragon, the cloud is from the tiger, and the dust and earth are fame.

Looking at Shenzhou, the people are bitter, and thousands of miles of fertile land are barren. ”

Xu Huaiqing suddenly sang a military song that was integrated into their blood, and more than 100 soldiers sang along with it.

"Look at the world, as much as you want, and make up for the defects of the Heavenly Dao.

Good boy, don't be a parent, just for the common people, not for the lord. ”

More than 100 scarred and bloodied soldiers followed their commander and rushed into the enemy formation.

Obviously, they were at the end of their crossbows and could not wear Lu Min, but the officers and troops scattered all over the mountains retreated...... Obviously they have been ravaged all night, and they want to tear them to pieces. But at this moment, looking at the bloodstained faces and listening to the familiar military songs, the officers and soldiers couldn't lift their swords and couldn't do it......

They staggered forward, and the front of the officers and troops slowly retreated. This scene, Yang Rong, who was in front of the battle, shuddered, the civil war was unjust, and the army's heart was difficult to guess, this is the truth!

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot them! Yang Rong brandished the Sword of the Son of Heaven and roared hoarsely! After he cut down two officers and soldiers who were reluctant to do it one after another, the arrows finally flew out!

Xu Huaiqing and his brothers were hit by arrows one after another, but they still stood there, singing more than once:

"Ninety-nine with a steel knife, kill all Hu'er before stopping.

I am a dignified man, what is a Tartar as a horse and a cow. ”

"Keep shooting!" Yang Rong urged the archers to continue shooting, the arrows became more and more dense, Xu Huaiqing and each of them were hit by more than a dozen, or even dozens of arrows, and finally fell to the ground one after another.

Xu Huaiqing stuck the Xuanhua axe on the ground, held on and refused to fall, and sang desperately there:

"A strong man drinks all the wine in the bowl, and he will not look back on the journey of a thousand miles......"

It wasn't until he was hit by a fatal arrow in the heart that he finally lost all the strength of his body, let go of the hand holding the handle of the axe, and fell to the ground on his back.

The moment he fell to the ground, he clearly saw that a group of embarrassed officers and soldiers fleeing from the direction of Tongzhou were clearly led by Li Xian!

Xu Huaiqing's stiff face showed a smile of relief. Lying next to the corpses of the robed brothers, he looked at the sky that was gradually whitening, and squeezed out the last trace of singing with his throat:

"The golden drums beat in unison...... The crowd roared, and the ...... was not broken Huanglong ...... Oath... No... Hugh ......"

An hour ago, when Yang Rong was desperate to go into battle in person and encircle and suppress Xu Huaiqing, Wang Xian's army had quietly touched the outside of Tongzhou City. There were countless official and military scouts along the way, but they were all eliminated by the masters of the Jinyi Guard, and even the head of Xianyun Dao personally went out to attack those scouts, and finally did not attract the attention of Yang Rong outside the city and Li Xian inside the city.

In the night wind, Wang Xian looked at the brightly lit Tongzhou City in front of him, and then turned his head to look at the torches that were faintly visible more than ten miles away. He and his subordinates knew that it was the place where Yang Rong surrounded and suppressed Xu Huaiqing. If it weren't for Xu Huaiqing's complete anger to Yang Rong and attracting all his attention to the west, Wang Xian would not have had the opportunity to sneak under Tongzhou City!

Zhang Yi and others looked west with tears in their eyes, unable to turn back for a long time. Wang Xian had already turned his face and looked at Wu Wei on the side: "How are you preparing?" ”

"I haven't met Yang Rong much, so I'm not very impressed with his appearance......" Wu Wei frowned and said, "I can only be seven or eight percent similar." ”

"That's enough!" Wang Xian nodded and said in a deep voice: "Let's act!" "They are now outside Tongzhou City, there are more than 100,000 officers and soldiers within a radius of ten miles, and they may be discovered at any time, and they can't be delayed for a moment!

"Yes!" Wu Wei and Mo asked, one of them took off his armor, the other took off his helmet, and all the soldiers around him also lost their armor. Many of them had bloody gauze wrapped around their heads, and some pretended to be lame. Some were lying on horseback...... In the blink of an eye, a hundred-battled army turned into a group of remnants of defeated soldiers......

Tongzhou is brightly lit, the city is as bright as white ground, and tens of thousands of defenders are waiting for it. Yang Rong was fighting fiercely outside the city, Li Xian, the Marquis of Fengcheng, and Li Chang, the head of the household department, naturally did not dare to be careless, the two stayed awake all night, and looked at the battlefield in the west at the head of the Jingmen City, only to see those dotted torches scurrying around, and they couldn't see the strict formation that Yang Bachelor said......

The scouts continued to gallop to the city and report the bad news to the city. Because the city gate is closed, the scouts can't enter the city, and it's not a situation that needs to be kept secret, and there is no need to put hanging baskets so troublesomely. So, the scouts shouted from outside the city:

"Report! The enemy defeated the Northern Route Army and penetrated directly into the flank of the Northwest Army! ”

"Report! The formation of the Northwest Route Army was broken horizontally, and Deputy Governor Chen was killed! ”

"Report! The Eastern Route Army was attacked ......"

"Report! The Western Route Army was attacked ......"

"Report! Southwest Army ......"

The bad news spread to the city one after another, making the Tongzhou defenders all frightened, and secretly said: 'How can Zhenguogong's army be so powerful, 5,000 people can beat the elder 90,000 people to the ground, if he waits for his army to kill, this battle will be a fart, and he will surrender directly!'" ’

"Ministry, the situation is not good......" Li Xian looked at his own family, didn't care about gloating, and said with a bitter face: "Our troops are twenty times that of others, how can we fight this battle?" (To be continued.) )
